Description
Reluctant Accomplice: A Wehrmacht Soldier's Letters from the Eastern Front
This collection of letters offers a unique perspective on World War II, as seen through the eyes of Dr. Konrad Jarausch, a German high-school teacher who served in Hitler's army in Poland and Russia. Written to his wife during his time away, these letters reveal the inner conflicts of an ordinary German soldier who began to doubt the war's moral legitimacy after witnessing its atrocities.
Through these vivid descriptions, we gain insight into the experiences of those who became reluctant accomplices in Hitler's war of annihilation, yet sometimes discovered a shared humanity with its suffering victims. This powerful story also explores the son of Dr. Jarausch, who for decades struggled to come to terms with his father's nationalist politics, and finally finds the courage to confront their contents.
